The Alchemists' Garden: Reviews & Ratings
An absolute must if you’re in Paso Robles. The vibes, the food, the drinks, everything was just so good. Tony (one of the 5 owners) made us feel so welcome and walked us through the story behind the menu, which made the whole experience even better. This place will not disappoint you.
Delicious food in a chic and welcoming atmosphere. Our waiter Matt went above and beyond to help us have a great meal! Plenty of gluten free options, and the staff was knowledgeable about what could or could not be altered to make it gluten free.
Great place! Food and drinks were great! Meeting the chef was awesome and my family was happy to have found this hidden gem in central CA. 100 would recommend to anyone visiting Paso - you must stop by and have a drink at the Alchemist Garden!
This place is really amazing. They have a nice selection of food and beverages - of which are some really tasty Craft Cocktails. The food too is soooo tasty. My wife had the vegetable lasagne and I had the daily duck-special. Definitely a place to dine when in Paso Robles.
Cocktails were amazing!!! 777, the Christmas cookie thingy and Sydney’s(?) apple cider marg martini were all off the charts. Then came bone marrow, duck pasta and vegan lasagna (we’re total carnivores) but that lasagna was amazing!!!!! (So were the other dishes!!!). Service was over the top late evening at the bar (the restaurant was full with people filling in behind us when we arrived at 850pm on monday night...), so we sat at the bar and was a great experience with great service even though the bar was slammed!!! WE WILL BE BACK!!!!! Their execution out does they’re appropriate name!!!
DRINKS: the Alchemist gold and the non-alcoholic cocktail options were the stars of the show here. Really creative takes on classics, and beautifully presented. FOOD: The tuna tostadas were a lovely, fresh appetizer. The duck in the duck pasta fell off the bone and was delightfully flavorful. The vegetarian pesto lasagna was packed full of beautiful vegetables but I didn’t realize it didn’t have any pasta in it - still delicious though. DESSERT: The banana split was excellent. Decadent and a great item to round out the meal. Unexpectedly ate every last bite despite being very full.
The space feels so thoughtfully designed — cozy, creative, and full of character. The food is fantastic; literally everything I tried was delicious, especially the salads! And the cocktails — OMG! On another level. Still haunted by the Esoteric Mood and Belladonna :) The staff were genuinely kind and attentive, and the whole experience never felt rushed. Every time I’m driving through Paso, I’ll be stopping here. It’s one of those places that just makes you feel good.
This was such a great place! Friendly service. We sat outside with a heater and we're not cold at all. Food came out quickly and was delicious. We had the curried deviled eggs, veggie lasagna and corn risotto and banana brulee split. All delicious!
